Narre Warren South P-12 College strives to develop young people so they can become fulfilled, positive members and leaders of our society. By recognising and celebrating diversity, high aspirations and positive relations, we create a harmonious school that has a positive sense of purpose and a commitment to each and every person.
Narre Warren South P-12 College is on one campus consisting of two sub schools - Prep to Year 6 and Year 7 to 12. The school has 328 staff, principal class, teachers and education support staff, including administration, student support and integration staff. The school is a welcoming place where students from many cultures learn together in excellent facilities.
We take great pride in all our students working hard at school and getting excellent results. Our VCE median study score has been stable at 30- 31 for the past seven years, placing us well above the state average. Coupled with our outstanding VCAL and VET results, we are a College that meets the pathway needs of all of our students. This is an outstanding achievement and has gained the school recognition far and wide, including 20 State Awards since 2006 for staff and students in our VCAL program and two Premiers Awards for VCE (perfect study scores). Further to this, we were recognised at the Victorian Education Excellence Awards in 2018 with the team award for Outstanding School Improvement, as well as the overall Lindsay Thompson Award. In 2020 our efforts were recognised in the Age Schools That Excel awards. The foundations for these results are found in our exemplary programs in the Primary and early Secondary sections of the College, where our focus on academic achievement and strong civic participation are evident. Student Attitudes to School reflect a strong sense of connectedness to school in both the Primary and Secondary areas of the College. Parent opinion well above state benchmarks is also indicative of a happy and harmonious College community.
